Love Dale Central School (LDCS) was established in June 2003 with a vision to impart quality education recognized by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). The school was started as a pilot project in Belgaum City to introduce the CBSE curriculum for the very first time.

The objective is to turn out young men and women with all the good qualities of leadership, a keen sense of discipline and responsibility, initiative and self reliance. At LDCS we are committed to inspire both the gifted students and the less gifted ones so that they rise to their true potential.
